Careful. I don't think this is a 6 pack.

Has anyone received theirs from the earlier batch? normally i'd be skeptical too, but the avg price on 3x camel is $116 for this item..so it seems like the real deal. Enough for me to give it a shot on 2 packs.

Screenshot shows "6 pack", could be one of those crazy low prices on Amazon, or could be its only a single one. Free shipping and return though, so just a little time waste if it is only 1. ....only let me order 1

I just bought one, everyone in the "questions" says it's a 6-pack and the graphics in the ad say so too. Hope so, less than $7 each for those bins is a great deal.

I waited until my first order arrived before posting. I got a pack of six on the first order a week ago and then ordered a couple more sets.

Out of stock again. I ordered two 6 packs the last time around which is probably plenty for me. I have about 30 of the 12” tall ones and 3 of the 18” tall ones. Last time I moved I bought these totes instead of cardboard boxes. There is also a 27” long black tote made by another company that my local Ace Hardware sells, they are $16.99 in store and are a larger version of these Akro Mils totes.

I just noticed these are the smaller totes at 9.5". Have you guys seem the bigger ones like stores use for shipments (probably 14"high) on sale?

Their current price of $99 for 6 of the 12.5” high ones and $70 for 3 of the 17” is about average. I found the 6 pack of 12.5” for $80 in 2016 and the 3 pack of 17” for $39 in 2017.

I ordered the grey tote six-pack March 10th and they shipped on the 16th, not scheduled for delivery until Saturday the 21st.

This really isn't that long for such a good deal, but I'm completely spoiled with Prime one or two day shipping. Anything that doesn't ship for free, and arrive almost immediately, seems terrible. LOL

I have decided to not order anything from Amazon (or anywhere really) to free up the delivery drivers to deliver stuff that people are trying to get that they need to survive

Good choice and GREAT advice! :beer:

Not to mention that deliveries could go wrong with the volume and stress.

BTW! We are ALL in this together so do what you can to help out, :thumbup:

doesn't work that way. increased demand has pushed for an increase in hiring of delivery drivers and keeps the small businesses that sell on amazon alive. buying gift cards to small businesses is another great method to infuse them with positive cash flow.

Anyone notice prices increasing? I had a bunch of stuff in my cart I was watching. All pretty low priced at this point. All of them shot back up to full price, in some cases items increased 10x the price. Is this a temporary thing? Anyone else notice?

Had the same thing happen to me a couple of days ago. Not quite 10X, but on average every item in my cart went up 30%.

Coincidence? I think not.

I heard they are increasing wages during the pandemic, and since we know Bezos ain’t paying for it maybe we are haha

Havent noticed prices shooting up too much, but my shipping lead times have jumped from 1-2 days to 3-5 days...
Spoke to someone, they are sticking with "2 day processing", not delivered.

I would rather they just say demand is high.

Perhaps this has something to do with it:
In a memo released to its sellers on Tuesday, Amazon announced it will prioritize essential shipments to its U.S. warehouses until April 5. The merchant restriction comes as an effort to meet the surging demands of online shoppers due to the coronavirus pandemic. What does this all mean for Amazon shoppers and its millions of Prime members? Can we still place orders? The short answer is, yes—but it changes things.

I was just going to add that! So as other vendor products deplete inventory and go out of stock, they won’t be allowed to restock until 4/5. Apparently that has other consequences on Amazon, so it appears vendors are raising prices to stretch their inventory and keep their products listed as Prime eligible.

So save your money, wait until this surge in household products drops, and hopefully the rest of the marketplace returns to normal in a few weeks.

And even if they aren’t raising existing prices then as items from that vendor sell out then the price goes up to the next cheapest vendor.

I doubt it will return to normal in a few weeks. I think the number of people infected is going to spike since there are more tests available, and that will create even larger surge.

I see pictures of people hoarding right now... buying 15 gallons of milk, or boxes of TP, or whatever goods. Imagine in the coming weeks when the number of infected people is much higher than now.

Stay safe everyone!

The OEM for this probe is Sapphire, the same company provide Keysight, Lecroy, etc. A very solid price for a quality differential probe. Another good option is the Micsig DP10003. The latter has a 50x/500x reduction which can be better or worse depending on the intended application.

For those that don't know why a differential probe is important:
On most oscilloscopes, ground is shared not only between all channels but also the earth pin. This means that if your signal is floating or not referenced to the same ground as your oscilloscope then you can easily kill your scope. This allows you to get rid of most common voltages and outputs a voltage referenced to your scopes ground. For exampe, say your signal is 22V and the ground for your signal is floating at 200V. If you only measure the signal and don't connect ground then you would see a 222V signal. Sounds easy to account for until the ground is not constant and you need to subtract the complex ground "signal". You can't connect your ground because you will blow your oscilloscope. These probes will take care of all of this automatically.

These probes will take care of all of this automatically.

What you describe can be accomplished without using a special probe. If the only concern is an offset to earth ground (EGC), an isolation transformer or non-grounding plug is all that is needed. If you need to measure a differential power signal, two probes are used, connecting one to the source output and one to the source return (what you refer to as "ground"). The scope is then set to invert and add the second channel from the first, which subtracts the common mode voltage to earth ground and displays the true signal.

Engineers use this type of probe to measure differential signals such as CAN or RS-485 where there is no "ground" associated with the signal. It can also be done with the invert and add mode of the scope, but that tends to introduce common mode offset error. The benefit of this probe is that it converts the differential signal to a single ended signal with a very high impedance input so it does not load or affect the signal.

Mine arrived today, Wednesday despite the estimated Saturday delivery.

Unfortunately the bottom container of the six was busted up. They were shipped nested in a cardboard box with no padding at all.

Does anyone know how to contact the seller through Amazon and ask for an adjustment? The only option I find is to return. I don't want to return the other five, the containers are really nice, I'd order more if this price appears again.

I think you’ll have to chat with customer service. Maybe they can give you the contact info.

Ha, just figured out seller is
"Sold by: Amazon.com Services LLC"

I'm on chat and past the bot, but now in a wait queue for a human response to find out if I can return just one or get a partial refund.

Damaged goods seem to be common with the reviews posted. Let us know how it goes in case mine are the same.

It was about a 15 minute wait for a human rep, I told him I'd rather not return all the containers since only one was broken. He offered a partial refund. I chose gift card balance instead of refund to cc since it's faster and I'll no doubt buy something else soon.

Just got the email with this info.

Item Refund: $18.15
Item Tax Refund: $1.77

We'll apply your refund to the following payment method(s):

Gift Card: $19.92

Mine arrived and one was broken...... I do NOT have the "balls" to call and complain about one broken bin (at this low price) during these hard times that Amazon is working so hard to deliver to people who need supplies.
**** it up and carry on....... it’s only a plastic bin. :beer:
